someone, send me text.uib

[tyomitch]

Someone please send me the text.uib file from original (i.e. English) Dune 2000.

I have a _very_ annoying translation here, so I would like better to play the original.

The file is 81K long and is located in Dune2000DataUI_DATA directory.

Dune2000 is said to be abandonware, so it seems quite legal to send single files of it.

[Gobalopper]

Dune 2000 is not abandonware.

tyomitch, If your file is corrupt, contact WW and they will send you a new disk.

[tyomitch]

My file is not merely corrupt. I got an illegal release where stupid hackers got all UI strings translated to Russian with a stupid translating software. As a result, I can understand too little in the UI.

I guess the file is not too important part of the game - why can't you send it to me?

[DukeLeto]

Because attaining the game as you did is illegal. Please buy a legitimate copy.

[gryphon]

Yea, right .. . like 80% of the members here have legal copies ;D

I have a legal copy. ::)

Really i do.

[DukeLeto]

I do.

And if you don't, give me your real name and address, and I'll "help you".

[hide]Right into prison. ;)[/hide]

Damn, I have _already_ got illegal version, why so much mess now? You can neither make me good nor bad now.

By the way, I am a poor Russian student, so I simply cannot afford the legal game.

I get $7,5 per month, and the game costs much, much more.

You still shouldn't really do that though. You can get it used for like 3 bucks online.

[tyomitch]

I went to Eglador, searched "Dune 2000", and got "No matches found to your query".

Then I went to CyborgStudios and saw they saying "As you might see, the site is a bit empty."

Where else can I get Dune 2000 for $3, if I can?

[Inoculator9]

Those aren't good places to look, as much as I like those sites, lol ;D You should go to amazon.com and do a search for computer games. Then find the dune 2000 jewel edition. It's being sold used by several people at what will probably be very low prices.

And those two sites are my sig, not recommendations ;D But you should join the forums there ;)

[tyomitch]

Why so much mess about an 81K file? Is it too important part of the 200M game?

Why at all should I get another version of Dune2000 - just for a single file?

[DukeLeto]

Because it is illegal to obtain the game like you have, and besides, as per the forum Rules:
